Like many in North America (and perhaps other areas as well), I was extremely disappointed after staying up late watching the FanFest, checking the online store for the Collectors Box, seeing nothing, going to bed, then waking up in the morning to find it was already sold out.

I noticed that a few days after, the store briefly added a "waiting list" which I was able to join, however, since then, the box has been removed entirely from the web page. I have emailed SE to ask about the likelihood of more units and they said they cannot comment.

This would be the only FFXIV Collectors Edition (and in fact only in the entire series) I haven't been able to pre-order. Surely there are many others in a similar boat. I will go to Ebay and pay an exorbitant ripoff amount to some scalper if necessary, however, I would much sooner buy from SE directly. It would be great to have some kind of signal from SE about what may happen with this before more people resort to this drastic action that only further encourages the scalpers.

What are other people's thoughts on the likelihood of more units to be released at this point?
